Preemptive Furry Vengence

Jan 19, 2004 02:24

Really, I doubt that anyone but myself is going to have any interest in this little soliloquy. Please realize that all the blathering gibberish that follows is based on the supreme arrogance: A) that my novels will eventually be published, and B) that anyone will care ( Read more... )

Haha. The topic came up in conversation last nite, and I said, "I know these people that complain about furries an awful lot, don't know why . . ."

I guess now I know. And knowing is half the battle.

Oh, if only it were that easy, but Ris and I were attacking furries before these characters were even created. Mostly it's because they are a walking, yiffing example of abuse of technology...without the internet, Darwinism would have prevented these freaks from breeding and existing long ago. But there they are. Also, I get annoyed because not only are they sexual deviants, they are rude sexual deviants who publicize their unnatural tendencies and demand that they be accepted as normal. Imagine when some mother and her kid walk past a hotel and see a Furry convention, and the poor mother has to explain. Normal, decent people keep their sex acts to themselves, they don't assult others with it.

Hmm. I think I have heard the same arguments as a justification for homophobia.

I don't see how you guys are exposed to these people so often, except in Ris's below mentioned porn hunts. I never really see or hear about them.

Anywho, I think that the Furry convention would be easier to explain than an anime convention :)

Ah, but there is a vast difference between homophobia and not wanting someone else's sexuality lauded and flaunted at you. I've always expressed my views on tolerance with this saying: your right to swing your arm ends at my face, and I hold that true for furries ( ... )

If you had said something like, "I was walking in the park one day minding my own beeswax and there were two people on a park bench in a chicken and rabbit suit with only their genitals exposed getting it on in front of a little kids birthday party, and they asked me to join in," I would understand.

Now we're getting into the whole internet censorship and porn debate. No, children should not be exposed to sexual behaviour while googling for bugs bunny sites. However, any sexual material on the internet should be proceeded by a warning page, and the parents of these children should turn off Survivor or American Idol, and start paying attention to what their children are doing.

I don't think that it's a bad thing that people with extreme interests can find others like them on the internet. If anything, it should save them from exposing the rest of us to their fetishes in public. And if they want to get together in a group to pursue their interests, so be it, as long as they apply the same rules of privacy to the real world.
